ENHANCEMENT GIFTS AND ENDOWMENTS

At NCCU, major gifts are those valued at $25,000 or more. NCCU’s major gift officers work with donors and friends to identify giving opportunities that align their needs with those of the university. Major gifts may be used to endow scholarships or programs. Endowed funds provide NCCU’s Foundation with an annual income stream that enables the university to make these strategic investments while preserving the principal gift in perpetuity. Major gifts may also be used to renovate or construct new facilities or purchase costly equipment. For additional information about any of the following giving opportunities, please e-mail the Kevin Wilson at kwilso58@nccu.edu.
